Summary: The presence of Fe in biochar enhances the degradation of organic pollutants through Fenton-like reactions. However, reactive oxygen species (ROS) have a limited role in this degradation process. The study investigates the adsorption and degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in Fe-biochar systems. The results show that adsorption and degradation are kinetically associated, and ROS quenching and competition from similar compounds inhibit 2,4-DCP degradation.

Summary: Nitrogen-doped biochar (NCMs) have shown potential as metal-free catalysts for persulfates, with conductivity and graphitic N being key properties in determining the degradation efficiency of 2,4-dichlorophenol. The positive effect of conductivity is attributed to the mediated electron-transfer mechanism, while graphitic N serves as the main active site for PMS activation. Understanding the evolution of NCMs' properties with preparation conditions and their correlations with reactivity is meaningful for preparing nitrogen-doped biochar and developing high-performance carbonaceous materials for persulfates-based AOPs.

Summary: Various technologies have been proposed to preserve fruits and prevent postharvest losses, among which the degradation of ethylene produced by fruits using TiO2 photocatalysis has shown promising results in delaying fruit ripening. This paper introduced a new application of biopolymers-TiO2 nanocomposites to extend the shelf-life of fruits, showing potential in fruit postharvest application. The study evaluated the photocatalytic properties of nanocomposite films prepared with gelatin and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose matrices loaded with 1 wt% TiO2, with gelatin-TiO2 dispersion applied as a coating on expanded polyethylene foamnets demonstrating higher ethylene degradation efficiency per photocatalytic area.

Summary: This study investigated the stacking fault energy and creep mechanism of a single-crystal nickel-based superalloy at different temperatures. The results revealed that the stacking fault energy increased with temperature and that the presence of element Ru significantly reduced the stacking fault energy compared to other elements in the alloy. The creep mechanism involved <110> super-dislocation shearing into the gamma ' phase below 850 degrees C, which could be decomposed into (a/3) <112> partial dislocations and super-lattice intrinsic stacking fault. However, above 850 degrees C, the resistance to dislocation decomposition increased, and the a <110> super-dislocation did not decompose when it cut into the gamma ' phase along the {111} plane.

Summary: In this study, a 30-day culture trial was conducted to investigate the effects of brown sugar addition on nutrient removal, feed conversion ratio, growth performance, and microbial community in a rice straw-based biofloc shrimp system. The results showed that the addition of brown sugar significantly reduced ammonium and nitrite nitrogen concentrations and improved nutrient removal rates. Furthermore, the addition of brown sugar also resulted in lower feed conversion ratio and higher shrimp survival rates. The dominant microbial phyla identified in all treatments played a crucial role in nutrient cycling and promoting water quality.

Summary: We suggest using a femtosecond X-ray pulse to trigger Resonant Auger scattering (RAS) in a distorted molecule, which provides information on the core-valence electronic transition and impresses a rich fingerprint of the electronic structure and nuclear configuration. By controlling the amount of molecular distortion with varied time delay, the RAS measurements imprint both their electronic structures and changing geometries. This work showcases a new alternative pump-probe technique for mapping the core and valence dynamics with ultrashort X-ray probe pulses.

Summary: A material extrusion (MEX) technology was developed for additive manufacturing of continuous carbon fiber-reinforced silicon carbide ceramic (C-f/SiC) composites. A slurry with high solid loading and viscosity was proposed based on rheological properties. Complex structures of C-f/SiC composites were printed using this MEX technique. Phenolic resin impregnation-carbonization process and reactive melting infiltration (RMI) were used to prepare samples with different C-f contents, with the highest bending strength and fracture toughness achieved at 1 K C-f content.

Summary: This study investigated the clinical outcomes of frozen-thawed blastocyst transfers derived from zygotes with no or one pronucleus (0PN or 1PN). The results showed that the developmental potential and clinical outcomes of 0PN and 1PN embryos were similar to those of 2PN embryos in both IVF and ICSI cycles. This suggests that 0PN and 1PN embryos from ICSI cycles can be transferred when there is an insufficient number of 2PN embryos.

Summary: Follicle developmental capacity and oocyte quality decline with advanced maternal age. Extracellular vesicles from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HucMSC-EVs) have potential therapeutic effects on age-related ovarian dysfunction. In vitro culture (IVC) of preantral follicles is a useful method for understanding follicle development and improving female fertility. This study demonstrated that HucMSC-EVs can improve the growth and quality of aged follicles and oocytes in vitro through gene transcription regulation.

This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.
